Striptease' is a uniquely seductive hosta with dark green leaves centred with a bright chartreuse that fades during summer to a light green. This central area is irregularly thinly brushed with a strip of pure white (that sometimes doesn't appear until plants are mature). This is a fabulous hosta that we've loved in our garden for a number of years. Hosta of the Year for 2005. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.

Why such a suggestive cultivar name? (You only need to look at the leaf design, think of female anatomy, and use your imagination). Leaf centers are chartreuse, delcaely rimmed in white and broadly edged in dark green. 2' tall x 4' wide. Lavender-violet flowers in mid summer.

This was the Hosta of the year in 2005. Pale gold centers thinly edged in white lie within the pointed green leaves. Pale violet flowers are held on 30" scapes in summer. A good clump of this can get 30" across. I'll stop now - we all know about Hostas.
